Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Within the subfamily Heliothinae, the genus Helicoverpa comprises several highly destructive agricultural pests, including H. armigera, H. assulta, H. punctigera and H. zea. These species cause significant global crop losses due to their wide host range, long‐distance migratory behaviour, and potential for interspecific hybridization.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Insecticide resistance mediated 1 by an exon skipping event [PDF]
, 2016 Many genes increase coding capacity by alternate exon usage. The gene encoding the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) a6 subunit, target of the bio-insecticide spinosad, is one example of this and expands protein diversity via alternative ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2091-2099, 15 March 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND The use of microorganisms and biostimulants is increasingly supported in agriculture because of their advantageous impact on plant disease management, growth enhancement and the synthesis of beneficial bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs). Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important crop and is consumed worldwide because it is an

Complete mitochondrial genome of the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 The complete mitochondrial genome of the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta was determined in this study. It is 15,290 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a putative control region.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.Fruits of Trichilia hirta were extracted and fractionated according to solvent polarity. The resulting partitions were screened for insecticidal activity by evaluating larval mortality and weight after 7 and 14 days. LC‐MS analysis of the most active fraction enabled the annotation of secondary metabolites potentially associated with the observed ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 815-824, January 2026.Whole‐genome sequencing identified novel ryanodine receptor mutations P4568L and Y4701D causing >1000‐fold chlorantraniliprole resistance in Spodoptera litura, enabling development of molecular diagnostics for proactive resistance management. Abstract BACKGROUND Spodoptera litura is a significant insect pest that attacks many agricultural crops ...
